Pollen allergies affect many people in Rust, Austria. Grass, trees, and weeds produce pollen, causing symptoms like itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing.
Tree pollen is released from March to May. Birch, oak, and hazel trees are common allergenic species. Pollen counts are usually highest in the morning.
Grass pollen is prevalent from May to July. Many species of grasses release pollen, making it a major allergen. Warm, sunny days increase pollen release.
Weed pollen is released from July to September. Ragweed, nettle, and sorrel are common weeds causing allergies. Pollen counts are often highest on windy days.
When pollen counts are high, we suggest doing these things to help with allergies, especially on windy days when pollen is flying around.
